Naturist hotels laid bare

Clover Spa & Hotel, a naturist hotel in Erdington, has been granted a licence to serve alcohol despite concerns from local residents and politicians. Those living near Clover Spa & Hotel - which advertises itself as offering something 'different, exciting and a little daring' - argued that it was wrong to serve alcoholic drinks to unclothed guests in a residential area such as Erdington. However, Birmingham councillors disagreed and approved the licence at a meeting on Wednesday. Tim Higgs, the owner of Clover Spa & Hotel, sought to reassure the licensing sub-committee that he was not seeking to open a strip club.
